Breastfeeding in public

[Martin]

I think breastfeeding in public is perfectly fine but mothers with young children should still follow the same rules as everyone else in public swimming baths.

This woman takes the biscuit.

The 20-year-old hairdresser said she started feeding nine month-old Riley in the whirlpool bath to calm his nerves on his first visit to the baths.

She said: ‘I noticed I was being watched by a female member of staff. She then told a male colleague who came to me and said, “You are not allowed to feed inside the pool area”.

‘I told them I knew my rights that it was against the law to stop me feeding.

She should have got out of the pool and fed her child in an appropriate area, NOT in the pool itself. No-one else is allowed to eat or drink in the pool so why should she be any different?

I think I'll try going to that swimming pool with a kebab and see what they say to me. "I know my rights"

Knowing your rights and doing what is right are two different things. With rights come the responsibilities of respecting the rghts of others. It seems the woman is only interested in 1 way traffic.
